if two whole things are the same, then the pieces must be the same (since the pieces compose of the whole thing)

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

example: say you have 2 identical homes every piece of the homes must be the same, so they must have the same door (if the two homes were identical)

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

which theorem am I using (in a way)?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

SSS?

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

the triangles are already known to be congruent

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

it starts with a C

OpenStudy (anonymous):

corresponding?

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

keep going

OpenStudy (anonymous):

congruent parts of congruent triangle?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

|dw:1401264429295:dw| I might be wrong but isn't it more like this?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

BE is congruent part of a congruent triangle?

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

the two triangles are congruent by the SSS property

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

so by CPCTC (corresponding parts of congruent triangles are congruent), we can say these two corresponding angles are congruent |dw:1401264759217:dw|

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

|dw:1401264797534:dw|
